Took my mum here for her 70th. Staff were polite and respectful but didn't come back to check on us or see if we needed a top up. Surroundings are beautiful, the view out the window of Big Ben and Houses of Parliament are just fantastic and the reason I chose this location. The room itself is beautiful too. The food was delicious, gorgeously presented. There were 3 sandwiches, a quiche, mini roll, 2 scones each and 5 cakes to share, which I found a little odd as we had to cut each one in half. Everything was delicious but there was a Savoury scone and no Savoury spread to put on it, only lemon curd, clotted cream and jam which went very well with the sweet scone.

Afternoon tea i toppklass! Mycket trevlig och kunnig personal som tog hänsyn till alla önskemål och kunde svara på frågor om teer, ingredienser m.m. Maten var utmärkt med mycket välkomponerade och vackra smörgåsar och bakverk av olika slag. Vi är fantastiskt nöjda!

I had afternoon tea along with the free flowing prosecco option. The service was wonderful, the treats were delicious, and the views were amazing. Thank you!
